2017 Goals

Posted by Rebecca Tiano on January 08, 2017

Dear Friends,

I have to be honest, not much happened to me, art-wise, in 2016. I allowed my personal life to take over my creative passion. There was no focus, and I am the only one to blame. However, this makes me motivated, and I want to do more in 2017. I have finally produced a list of goals for 2017.

Self-awareness. I want to be self-aware of what inspires me, and acknowledge it. Sometimes if you don’t take a moment to reflect the inspiration that presents itself, you cannot become aware of the exact goal you want to achieve or the direction to travel. I want to accept what inspires me, and live life to the fullest.
Don’t get caught up with time. There has been many times I have made plans, and tried to produce deadlines to accomplish these plans. It is nice to have goals, but I know my personal work always turns out better if I just go with the flow. However, being lazy is not going with the flow, and I will make sure I am working hard while achieving goals.
Reflection after each month. Each month, I want to reflect my accomplishments, even if there hasn't been tons. I will acknowledge the positive, and use that to achieve more the following month.
Create more. I believe in my creative mind, and I want to create more art than I have in the past few years. My mind is a waste if I don’t create.
Happiness. I don’t need to be successful to be happy. I choose to look forward to the future, and let go of the past. True happiness can lead to more creative adventures.

2016 is not the person I want to be. Only I can make the changes to make myself truly happy. I can either sit on my butt, or work at what I want to become. Through completion of goals, I believe I can become a better artist who can also inspire others to create. Life is short. Therefore, I plan on living my life to the fullest, and choosing happiness.

Hope you live life to the fullest, and find what inspires you!

Best Regards,

Rebecca Tiano
